He said, "I can do great things, really good things, but am I doing it out of love?"

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become an noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
As I serve here at the International Christian School of Vienna, I can serve and serve well by doing the things that are expected of me, and maybe a bit more so that I know I am giving it my all. But why? What is my motivation? Is it love? Do I teach my kids because I love them? Do I cover someone's class out of love? Do I recognize the opportunities I have as a chance to love and to love well? Do I exemplify Christ's love? This has challenged me greatly this weekend.
I want to be a sweet sound in God's ear, I don't want to be a noisy distraction to His beautiful composition. I want to serve well, and completely out of love. And I want to be reminded of this call every day. This is my prayer.

Just read this same thing in a devotion this morning. Good and through provoking ... kinda a litmus test to what we do ... and why we do it! Geroge Sweeting says, "Life minus love equal nothing." May we both live for ... love!
